Halilhodzic will be looking to star midfielder Sofiane Feghouli, who plays for Valencia, and Tottenham's Nabil Bentaleb to create chances for them. And Sporting Lisbon's Islam Slimani and Dinamo Zagreb's Hilal Soudani will vie for a place at center-forward. Both have scored 10 international goals.

Algeria is drawn in Group H alongside Belgium, Russia and South Korea.
